A teenage girl went on a drink-fuelled rampage which saw her attacking a driver and stealing his car.

The 17-year-old, who can’t be named for legal reasons, downed vodka and tonic wine as she drove – and crashed into other vehicles on a 15-mile trail of destruction.

Before she got behind the wheel, her victim tried to stop her from stealing the car and jumped in to the passenger’s seat as she drove off.

But he ended up jumping out of the window and onto the road before the girl got out of the car and battered him.

She left him by the side of the road and sped off.

The drunk teen was nabbed by cops a short time later at the Kibble centre in Paisley .

The details emerged when she appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court to admit her guilt over the events of July 25 last year.

Procurator Fiscal Depute Fiona Holligan told the court that Andrew Love had gone to pick up a friend, who was with the teen lout.

The prosecutor explained: “She was in the company of the accused, who was unknown to him.

“They entered the vehicle.

“The accused was in possession of an open, and half-consumed, bottle of vodka and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.”

The teenager was “loud, unpredictable and erratic” and she grabbed the keys from Mr Love after they’d stopped to go into a shop.

Mrs Holligan added: “He managed to gain possession of the keys from her but she bit him on the left arm and he dropped the key.

“He exited the vehicle through fear and she remained in the vehicle and positioned herself in the driver’s seat and started the engine.”

Not wanting the teen to take off in his vehicle, Mr Love jumped in the passenger’s seat and she sped off.

He tried to get the keys back but she began “shouting and swearing at him in an aggressive manner”.

Mrs Holligan explained: “He jumped out of the passenger window and fell on to the roadway.

“She got out of the car, climbed on top of him and banged his head on to the road several times.”

As she made her way from the scene of the assault, East Kilbride Road, in Busby, to Kibble, in Goudie Street, Paisley, she crashed in to several cars and was seen with a bottle of Buckfast leaving the car.

The car then rolled down the hill and crashed into another vehicle as she hadn’t put the handbrake on.

And, when arrested and taken to the police station, she refused to provide a breath sample, telling officers: “I’m giving you f*** all.”

She pleaded guilty to assault and robbery, dangerous driving, driving without a licence, driving without insurance, failing to provide a breath sample and breaking a bail curfew.

Defence solicitor Rowan Myles said she had spent most of her life in care and is already serving a sentence behind bars imposed at a different court.

Sheriff Seith Ireland called for background reports to be prepared ahead of sentencing and adjourned the case until next month for that to be done.
